Does a pantone standard exist? Can we use it?

If so, that would presumably make the most sense. From what I can see,
Pantone define colours in both CMYK, and RGB, so provided we just take
their RGB value and describe it as their colour - eg "Pantone Gold" -
there can't be a problem.

The wiki page about them does say they are (deliberately) unclear about
their legal rights and what is permitted, so it sounds like creating a
complete pantone picklist could be dangerous territory, but simply
saying "We have used Pantone color names where applicable" is going to
be pretty blatant fair use.

I think names like the above are pretty standard, anyway ...

Cheers,
Wol
